It's not just a social issue, it's a class issue.

Insufficient LGBTIQA+ healthcare provision is a failure of government and creates a hierarchy of those who can afford it and those who cannot.

There's no justice for any of us without justice for all of us.

♻️ Litter picking is an act of love - and we love our communities!

💚 We, your Green team, were out this evening litter picking and managed 4 bags in total.

👊 Get in touch if you can you help us take action against the problems we're facing across our areas!

Find Out Now poll puts Greens +2 since @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s election. Now on 12%.

Greens level pegging with Lib Dems, just 3 points behind Tories, & only 7 points behind Labour.

Zack wasn’t joking when he said we are not here to be disappointed with Labour, we are here to replace them.

Fly-tipping, litter, and waste are an ongoing battle in our communities. But, we're taking action! Thanks to Cristiana and George for joining me in Cottingley this evening - we've been told about a hotspot for fly tipping, and we decided to do something about it.

Good evening! Thanks to everyone that attended our LGBTIQA+ Greens' Deputy Leader Hustings this evening. After the hustings finished for Deputy Leader, we received @mothinali.bsky.social's opening statement, and we thought we'd post it, for balance and fairness!

You'll notice I've not said anything about who I'm backing in the leadership elections yet.

Who I endorse will be heavily down to our @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social pledges - we need strong leadership on LGBTIQA+ issues from our would-be leadership team!

It might help to know that because of gender balancing, if Zack wins, the deputy leaders must be of different genders. I'll be making my vote with the top two being the two gender-balanced deputy leaders I'd like to see.

Section 28 was a dark period in the UK for LGBTIQA+ rights that did untold damage.

Labour are bringing it back.

We deserve better from a government that promised Change.
A graphic titled "They're taking us backwards". There are two sets of policies on LGBTIQA+ in relation to education: one is accompanied by a photo of Keir Starmer, reading: "Schools should not use materials that 'encourage children to question their gender'". The other, accompanied by a photo of Margaret Thatcher, reads: "Schools 'shall not promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality'". At the bottom is the LGBTIQA+ Greens logo.

As Greens, we know that fighting for the environment goes hand-in-hand with all forms of liberation: LGBTIQA+ rights included!

Check out the pledges we're asking our leadership & internal candidates to commit to. We'll share their responses once they've been received. ✊

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ LGBTIQA+ RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

We're asking candidates in the @greenparty.org.uk internal elections to pledge their support for our community. At a time when we're under attack, we need our LGBTIQA+ communities and our allies to stand in solidarity.

Watch this space!
A list of pledges: To acknowledge wholeheartedly that fighting for LGBTIQA+ liberation goes hand in hand with fighting the climate crisis. To support and promote Green Party of England & Wales policy on LGBTIQA+ rights (including RR500 - RR539). To work with LGBTIQA+ Greens to deepen and extend the party’s support for and policies on LGBTIQA+ rights. To work with LGBTIQA+ Greens to improve GPEW policy on trans healthcare (RR532-RR534) to provide fully funded and much-needed support to all trans people, to end segregated healthcare and to support appropriate healthcare for trans youth based on informed consent, Gillick competency and internationally recognised best practice To support LGBTIQA+ Greens to make further gains in ensuring GPEW provides a welcoming, safe and nourishing environment for LGBTIQA+ members. In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling, to work with LGBTIQA+ Greens and wider queer society, organisations and allies to campaign to protect previously established trans rights and for any changes to legislation which might be needed to ensure this protection. To fight for reform of the Gender Recognition Act to provide a kinder and less bureaucratic process for recognising trans people's gender in law. To support efforts to increase the number of LGBTIQA+ candidates for election to internal positions and to public office. To campaign for this government to bring forward a genuine ban on conversion therapy. Conversion therapy includes medical, psychiatric, psychological, religious, cultural or any other interventions that seek to change, “cure”, or suppress the sexual orientation and/or gender identity of a person. Any ban must protect all LGBTIQA+ people, which includes providing genuine protection for trans people. To stand in solidarity with LGBTIQA+ communities worldwide by working with international Green parties to oppose anti-LGBTIQA+ legislation and to promote global human rights and liberation.

The only balance here is Labour balancing the books on the backs of disabled people, which isn't "right" whatsoever.

Shame on every Labour MP that's backed down from opposing this rotten welfare bill, content with the same broken system.

UK could see temperatures of 46C or more in the future, Met Office says
Experts said the chance of temperatures hitting 40C is now 20 times more likely than it was in the 1960s, while temperatures soaring to a maximum of 46.6C is also "plausible".
